"SCRAPS FROM MY DESK DRAWER"

"SCRAPS FROM
MY DESK DRAWER"

There have been
several stories recently, about the poor condition of our roads and
bridges.Didn't the government throw out
800 BILLION dollars to fix them, about 3 or 4 years ago?I don't know about you, but that's a huge
amount of money to me...and the roads and bridges are still not fixed?So, how about somebody in the bookkeeping
field telling me where all that money went.Now the government, the president actually, wants to give out another
huge amount of money to do the big fix on roads and bridges.Am I the only one that thinks we are
spending ourselves into bankruptcy?It
was Uncle Joe Biden, I believe, that said we had to spend more money to get
ourselves out of the fix we were in...and that hasn't worked, has it?What, if anything, that this administration
has proposed, has worked out the way it was supposed to?Of course, there is a school of thought that
it's working out EXACTLY as planned...we ARE headed in a downward spiral, and
we WERE told that America was going to be fundamentally changed.

Another group of people, and this one includes me,
believes(but cannot prove) that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court made his
decision on the healthcare law based on a death threat on him and his
family.There have been several
attempts at bring a court case against the president, based on the belief

and their evidence, that
he was not American-born and therefore could not have been eligible to be
president.A person, ANY person, brought
up in an atmosphere of thuggery, is going to operate that way.The president was never exposed to the
American experience as a child, a teen or at any point in his adult life.He is an outsider, believing in heavy-handed
methods as practiced by Chicago
hoods in the last century.Any judge, at
any level, who fears for his or her life, as well as that of their family is
not going to do anything stupid, and that includes continuing action on a case
against the president.

The current president has made it crytal clear that if he
cannot get Congress to do what he wants, he'll do it by Executive Order.Does it matter that he skirts the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights?Apparently not.There is no hue
and cry coming from the public about these little chunks of our freedom that
the president is cutting away.He may
not have written more EO's than any other president, but that doesn't matter
because the ones that he HAS written are the ones that are hurting us.His so-called advisors, if you put them all
together in a darkened room, wouldn't have enough common sense to switch on the
light.This administration has one of
the worst, if not THE worst group of advisors ever.They either don't tell the president
anything(he finds out things by reading newspapers and watching TV) or they DO
tell him and he doesn't understand what he's been told.Either way, this president doesn't instill
confidence in my mind, or in the minds of people around the world,
apparently.Various members of the
administration have lied to Congress but not one of them has lost their
job.Instead they are moved to someplace
where

the press cannot get to
them, or they go on extended administrative leave.That last one, if you think about it, is a
paid vacation.

America...the
America
in which I grew up and the one for which I served in the armed forces, is on
very shaky ground.This administration
has deliberately, and systematically, attacked the American Dream, the armed
forces, and just about anything it puts its hand on.The president is a person who believes in
things that are exactly opposite of what America is, was, and should
be.He says one thing out of one side of
his mouth, and says something completely different out of the other side of his
mouth, and does exactly opposite of what he just told you he was going to
do.I've said this before...if the
president's lips are moving, he's lying.

This administration, and in particular, this president has
made up so many things, and failed to carry them through, except where it
benefits him or his cronies.With the
midterm elections coming up, patriotic Americans will go to the polls and,
after they show a photo ID, will be able to vote.Will they vote for the status quo, which is
taking the United States
in a downward spiral, or will they change the majority in Congress and give us
a chance to bring back the ship of state to the previous, and prosperous,
course.
